Now that 2018 is officially here, we bet you’re hard at work tackling the ambitious New Year’s resolutions you made amid the holiday hustle and bustle. If you haven’t made any progress yet, there’s no need to worry. According to the experts, you’re still ahead of the game! Believe it or not, you are winning just by virtue of the fact that you made a resolution in the first place. Researchers say resolution-setters are 10 times more likely to succeed than people who forgo resolutions.
To help you meet your goals this year, here are few helpful tidbits from psychology experts:
Be specific.
You’ll boost your chances of success by breaking your goals down into easy-to-digest actions with measurable results. For example, instead of resolving to “exercising more,” plan to walk an extra 500 steps every day. Or, if your goal is to “save more,” try skipping your morning run to Starbucks and make your coffee at home.
Never give up!
Studies show that the more you fail at something, the more likely you are to succeed. It doesn’t matter if you’ve failed to achieve the same new year’s resolution for three years straight. This could be your year, so keep trying!
